In the mid-late 1970s Jimmy Carter was president.
We had growing stagflation.
We had a weak foreign policy.
We had a GOP weakened from Watergate and Democratic control in Congress and the White House
We had high taxes
We had obstreperous unions
We had ugly cars like the AMC Pacer and Gremlin
We had ugly music like disco
We were told WE were the problem

Now Obama is president.
We have growing stagflation
We have a weak foreign policy
We have a GOP weak from the Bush years
We have rising taxes
We have obstreperous unions
We have ugly cars like the Cube
We have ugly music like techno and rap
And we're being told we're the problem.

I've said from early on obama's economic policy ie if an industry moves attack
It would have him risking Carter's fate. He has time, but if he doesn't get much better economic returns he could easily lose in 12.

Do you know what stagflation is? Here's a hint: the "flation" part refers to inflation. During the Carter years (starting with his first full month in office), no single month ever had an inflation rate lower than 5.91%. The inflation rate climbed virtually on a monthly basis until it was in the double digits.

Today, inflation is very, very low (it was negative last year).

The top marginal tax rate is half of what it was in throughout the 1970s (70%). If EGTRRA expires, it would still be under 40%.

You have to understand, Rabbi picked up the word stagflation and uses it over and over again assuming it will stick. In my lifetime, we have never had a lower inflation rate than we do now. Ask Social Security retireeshow they liked their adjustment for inflation last year

But Rabbi is all knowing. We don't have any inflation now....but the evil Obama policies will cause stagflation next year....or in three years....or in ten years....or
